Decision Making in Radiation Oncology by Jiade J Lu

Decision Making in Radiation Oncology is a reference book designed to enable radiation oncologists, including those in training, to make diagnostic and treatment decisions effectively and efficiently. The design is based on the belief that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Knowledge is conveyed through an illustrative approach using algorithms, schemas, graphics, and tables. Detailed guidelines are provided for multidisciplinary cancer management and radiation therapy techniques. In addition to the attention-riveting algorithms for diagnosis and treatment, strategies for the management of disease at individual stages are detailed for all the commonly diagnosed malignancies. Clinical trials that have yielded “gold standard” treatment and their results are documented in the schemas. Moreover, radiation techniques, including treatment planning and delivery, are presented in an illustrative way. This groundbreaking publication is an essential tool for physicians in their daily clinical practice.

From the book reviews:

“This is a comprehensive, full color atlas and text about various head and neck, breast, thoracic, and palliative care for oncology… I highly recommend this book to oncologists, radiosurgeons, and physicians. … I heartily recommend this publication for all readers for a quick reference book.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2014)
